Teaching English as a couple in China / Vietnam
Posted: 02 Dec 2012, 14:53
Hi,
My partner and I are looking to work together teaching English in either China or Vietnam.
We are an English couple living in the UK as wish to start teaching in February 2013.
We have fully researched our chances of getting a teaching job in South Korea and after much debate decided to look at teaching elsewhere as we are not married.
We are currently looking at China and Vietnam but are struggling to find credible information on ESL/TEFL teaching in China. Most websites either don't specify whats included or do not reply to emails etc.
Vietnam is a whole other story, any research we have done has turned up nothing, except for a few recommendations to just 'show up and wait for a job'. To us this seems pretty reckless as we currently have jobs at home.
We are hoping to teach in schools that are very close to each other and live together in an apartment within a good distance of the schools.
Is there any specific sites that we may have missed that will provide worthwhile information on both China and Vietnam?
We are looking for information on Teaching as a couple, what a school would provide and credible recruiters that will help instead of just passing on details and expectinga fee.
Thank you in advance.
Stephen & Rebecca
